    In my opinion that’s a band aid that has to come off.

    We shouldn’t take the high road to avoid backlash. The populists are going to go lower regardless of where we set the bar. This is how it has already gotten so low that we’re even debating straws.

    We should set the bar much much higher, so they can bitch and moan about hundreds of issues instead of finding unity in single issues like straws.

      I’m all for it but unfortunately majority of people would vote out any politician that proposes something like that. And politicians know it.
